Sarit Hadad is the current "Mizrahi" female super star. Her earlier 
recordings were more "Oriental" than her last CD which was a HUGE dance hit. 
Haven't heard her new CD yet. She also recorded a great CD in Arabic (her 
best seller at Hatikvah) --she is very popular in Lebanon, and Jordan.
She has a very large following in France where these is a VERY large 
Judeo-Arab   community, and even recorded a CD, "Live In France".

Tippex is one of the most popular groups in Israel for quite a while, however 
has never had a major following outside of Israel.
